I see Torinos, Valiants, Novas & Venturas mainly. Forgot how common those models were back then. I also spot a Nocturne Blue `64 Catalina 2dr. hardtop parked at the curb. Forget the cars…just give us the .89 cent gas back again!

You know, with the exception of a very few, there’s at least (1) VW in every picture. This picture is no exception with (2) that I saw at first glance. It’s obvious that VW has left its mark throughout the world.

Surprised at how many 2-door sedans and coupes are in the pic. Today most everything is 4-door. It used to be that a 2-door hardtop was special and a 2-door sedan was generally a price leader, though there is one parked at the curb I cannot quite identify (I think GM, possibly a LeMans) that has stainless trim on the window frames and might be a bit upscale.

Wow,
on the parking lot behind that torquise Nova at the curbside I just spotted a single model-year 1970 Buick Riviera sans fender skirts!
And parked behind the Riviera is a ca. 69 Olds Vista Cruiser.
It’s amazing how every single car on this picture has enough character to identify it.
Try that with the same picture with today’s cars in it.

That looks like a ’74-6 Ford Gran Torino Elite. Judging by the glossy black wheel, the driver’s already took off the wheelcover…or some passerby did that for him/her…
Or maybe it popped off when the wheel dropped into the pothole that caused the flat??
